Summary
[edit]Description |
Diagram of the Temple of Chons at Karnak, built by Ramses III. A = Pylon, consisting of two pyramidal masses of masonry crowned with a cavetto cornice, united in the centre by an immense doorway, in front of which on either side were seated figures of the king and obelisks; B = Great court, a great open court surrounded by peristyles on two or three sides; C = Hall of columns, a great hall with a range of columns down the centre on either side, forming what in European architecture would be known as nave and aisles, with additional aisles on each side. These had columns of less height than those first mentioned, so as to allow of a clerestory, lighting the central avenue; D = Priest's hall, smaller halls with their flat roofs carried by columns; E = Sanctuary, with passage round giving access to the halls occupied by the priest. |
